UNSPSC 50603218: Frozen Non GMO divinity corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO divinity corn that has been frozen for preservation. This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions. Such methods include cell fusion, microencapsulation and macro-encapsulation, and recombinant DNA technology (including gene deletion, gene doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the positions of genes when achieved by recombinant DNA technology).

Traditional methods of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture are considered to be non-GMO.

UNSPSC 50603218 Frozen Non GMO divinity corn (Commodity) describes specialty frozen vegetables that state and local governments procure primarily as part of broader food service and institutional meal-program purchasing. Recent solicitations under this code show state and local issuing bodies buying shelf-stable and frozen food products for senior services, school meal programs, and general institutional food supply — though the recent opportunities reflect a mix of produce and processed foods rather than frozen corn specifically. The scope of work centers on USDA-compliant food items for National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program support, senior services meal delivery, and institutional kitchen operations, with emphasis on domestic sourcing, compliance with whole-grain and nutrition standards, and HACCP-certified handling. Issuing bodies include state procurement offices, county governments, and school district boards of education.

Recent activity centers in Georgia. The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posted an IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, canned vegetables) due October 19, 2026, with delivery required to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center by December 7, 2026 and award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. The State of Georgia issued a food, supplies, and kitchen products bid on May 15, 2026 with a June 22, 2026 due date. The Early County Board of Education solicited line-by-line bids for 300+ food items supporting school meal programs with a June 8, 2026 due date, specifying domestic sourcing preferences, low-sodium formulations, whole-grain compliance, and no artificial additives, with contract period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. All awards require vendor compliance with Buy American provisions, HACCP certification, debarment verification, and E-Verify.
